When staff writer Caroline Mullen first brought home this mini brush and dustpan set about a year ago, her fiancé balked: What could such a tiny, cutesy cleaning tool possibly be good for? Well, let Caroline count the ways. She uses it to dust off matcha and coffee grounds from her countertop; to brush away everything-bagel crumbs plaguing the underside of the toaster; to clear away papery bits of onion and garlic skin. It excels at sweeping stray threads off the table after a sewing project and collecting loose beads that have fallen on the floor. In short, it’s shockingly useful—beyond just looking charming hung on the wall. While it certainly can’t replace a full-size broom or a vacuum, Caroline writes: “For sweeping up quick messes and injecting a bit of joy into your everyday, I highly recommend adding a delightfully tiny cleaning tool to your arsenal.” A mini-yet-mighty dustpan and broom set we love→ We independently review everything we recommend.
